Photo, video and property

Drone photography for selling property

Aerial photography is best at showing location, surroundings and scale. It should complement ground images without concealing features relevant to a buyer.

Define the listing story

For a house, surroundings and garden may matter; for land, boundaries and access; for a development, the site layout. Choose three to five facts the images should communicate.

Prepare the property

Move vehicles and clutter, tidy outdoor areas, provide access and inform people on site. Decide whether plot boundaries will be added graphically.

Plan the shot list

Combine wide contextual views with closer images of the building, access road and key features. Request vertical formats if the listing will also appear on social media.

  • whole-property view
  • surroundings and access
  • important features
  • horizontal and vertical frames

Confirm rights and accuracy

Confirm publication rights for portals and advertising. Added boundaries or distances should be clear and must not create a misleading impression.

Key takeaways

A strong set shows the property, setting and access, complements ground photography and fits the listing channels.
